Write a review about Norcross Tell people what you like or don't like about Norcross…
Norcross is a Place to Imagine 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I've been living in Norcross for 3 years and have enjoyed the small-town atmosphere and friendly neighbors that I and my family have grown to enjoy spending time and recreational activities with. The schools in Norcross are not the best but there have been improvements made that ...Read More are continuing to bring them up to par or at least to the standards I personally think they should be at. Norcross is a suburban city on the outskirts of Atlanta GA and provides a small town atmosphere if you're looking to move to the Atlanta area but still enjoy the slower pace of a smaller city.


The best areas in Norcross are around Berkeley Hills Country Club where there is an extremely nice community with housing that is reasonably priced for the quality of the neighborhood. Norcross also has all of the shops and restaurants and other small businesses needed to buy whatever you need or want in this small town environment. If you're looking to move to the Atlanta area and want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Norcross would be a great escape and place to move, live, and raise your family. Read Less
